Thing #10

I have often wondered what the RSS feed notation on many web sites was. Now I know. It has made my web surfing much easier. I now I can follow my Tigers without having to go through three or four links to get to my latest on the Memphis Tigers. I also checked and located two good RSS links from the History Channel and Infoplease that can provide additional facts and data to enhance my students' learning expreriences. The Infoplease site provides historic events that occurred on a date in History. For example, in keeping with my World War II theme for the majority of my project and blogs, on March 17, 1942 Gen. Douglas MacAruthur was named Commander of the Allied Forces in the Pacific. This technology is not limited to History. Using a Google search, a teacher can find RSS feed on most any content area that will enhance the class. Just one more tool that will make it easier for me to assist my students in constructing their knowledge. Here is a link to my public page for March 17: http://www.google.com/reader/shared/15788222262437964876.
